To all whom it may concern,-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. ORUMP, J r. a citizen of the United States, residing at Sealy, in the county of Austin and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cork-Extractors; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, andis a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a vertical section. Fig. 3 is also a perspective view.. Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the cork.

This invention relates to cork-extractors; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, all as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings the letter A designates the bottle-neck, having the exterior shoulder B. Ois the cork, and D is the wire extractor.

, The cork O is usually prepared by cutting slits e ein opposite sides to receive the branches of the wire, which is doubled, its looped ends g g passing upward in the slits of the cork on opposite sides. The loopcnds are designed to be long enough to fold across the top of the cork and down to the shoulder of the neck of the bottle, where they are fastenedin place by the securing-wire h, which passes around the neck under the shoulder. When so'fastened, the cork is secured in place.

In order to extract the cork, the securingwire is unfastened or broken and the loop ends of the main wire raised above the cork, and then a knife, key, or other instrument having been passed through the loops the cork WILLIAM E. ORUMP, JR.
